“Dutch Disease” in 1970’s-1990’s suppressed
economy
Economy gradually diversified; oil 14% of Nigerian
Economy, but 80% of government revenues
Oil theft thought to siphon off 100,000-500,000 bpd
Sector corrupt, with $ billions unaccounted for
Largest gas reserves in Africa, historically burned off

Prior to 1999, 29 years of military rule vs. 10 years
civilian
1998 Gen Abubakar embarked on ambitious
constitutional democratization; election May ‘99
1999 Election of Obasanjo (former military dictator)
Obasanjo’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
significant in nationalizing politics
PDP dominated politics through first 4 presidential
elections (in national elections)
National elections marked by steady improvement,
but also political violence (700 killed in 2011
election)
2015 election most successful yet, still marked by
discrepancies but little violence
Presidents informally switch back and forth
Christian/Muslim
2015 Election Pres Buhari (former military dictator),
first transition to opposition All Progressive’s
Congress (APC), also broad-based national party
Both party’s platforms very similar, 2015 election
assessed to be poll on former administration
Problems but Progress…
Violence and Insurgencies
• Boko Harem in North, tribal
insurgents in Niger river delta
• Southern insurgencies date to
early 1990’s, in response to oil
extraction
• Previous administration paid off
militant leaders, violence
decreased
• BH, 2009, active in NE
provinces, affiliated with IS
• Responsible for about 20,000
deaths
• Multinational efforts, February
push have met progress, but BH
still a significant threat
• Buhari’s victory over Jonathan
attributed to failures against BH
Legatum Index: Bottom 11%
Global Competitiveness Index: Bottom 12%
Economy I

~6.5%
2010 World Bank Report:
• 25.89% of those in poverty in Africa
(Below $1.25/day) lived in Nigeria
• Nearly two-thirds of Nigerians live below
poverty line
Economy II
Economy III
*2014: Nigeria’s statisticians recalculated its GDP figures to take account of new
industries such as mobile telecommunications and discovered that it had become Africa’s
biggest economy, ahead of its main economic and geopolitical rival, South Africa.
Nigeria Inflation Rate is 9.2%
• Food +10.0%, imported food +10.4%
• Housing, water, electricity gas +7.3%
• Clothing and footwear +9.3%
• Transport prices +9.1%
• Education +9.2%
• Health +8.7 %
Import/Export
Exports I
Exports II
“Exports” III
Imports
Nigeria ought to be Africa’s biggest oil
and gas producer, yet it suffers crippling
fuel shortages
Non-oil Sector Growth
The economy is diversifying and is becoming more services-oriented, in particular
through retail and wholesale trade, real estate, information and communication.
Current Breakout of Growth:
• 57% services
• 21% agriculture
• 9% manufacturing
Issues:
• A country that should be the region’s breadbasket cannot even feed itself.
• The whole country produces only as much electricity as a single medium-sized
European city.
Tourism
Institutions I
Two Key Problems:
129
144
• Corruption
• Inability to provide basic services
Nestle Factory: it has to generate its own power, clean up its own water and
provide health care for its employees, and poor transport links drive up the
cost of its raw materials. Even so, it is one of the company’s most efficient
factories on the globe, in part because of the benefits of scale from producing a
narrow range of products for a huge market
Improved water source, rural
(% of rural population with access)
Improved water source, urban
(% of urban population with access)
Institutions II
Corruption
• The World Bank estimates corruption’s direct cost to Nigeria to be as high
as 12 percent of GDP.
• Control of corruption, which showed significant improvement in 2003 to
2008, deteriorated when President Jonathan took office
• President Buhari, elected in June, ran on a platform of anti-corruption.
Infrastructure

Health
Characterized by:
• Lack of coordination
• Fragmentation of services
142
• Dearth of resources including drug and supplies
• Inadequate and decaying infrastructure
• Inequity in resource distribution
• Access to care and poor quality of care
Only 0.4 Doctors / 1000 people
Presidents Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
• Adult HIV prevalence is 3.1%
Successes
• Polio: No new cases since 24 July 2014
• Ebola outbreak containment
• Liberian man arrived by airplane into Lagos, Africa's most populous city. Died in
hospital 5 days later, set off a chain of transmission that infected a total of 19
people, of whom 7 died.

2012: Agricultural Transformation Agenda
• Nigeria spends over $11 billion annually on imported rice and sugar
• Aimed at reducing Nigeria’s increasing reliance on food imports
• Growth Enhancement Scheme:
• subsidizes the costs of such major inputs as fertilizer and seedlings
• free mobile phones to farmers
• provide timely information on input and crop prices
• facilitate mobile banking
• 2013: Government claims that nearly a half million jobs were created
• Agriculture could provide help mitigate decline in the oil industry
Security Issues
142
Security Issues
Insurgency in the north-east and other parts of the country
• Claimed about 20,000 lives and forced some 1.5 million people from their homes
• Humanitarian situation: An increased number of both internally displaced persons
and refugees in neighboring Cameroon and Niger
• Negative implications for investment
• May hamper the fight against poverty
• Increase crime
In February under President Buhari, an offensive against Boko Haram drove militants
from most big towns and pushed them back into a few forest and mountain hideouts.
Problems I
Problems II
Problems III
Corruption
Major rural-urban and regional tensions
• Varying natural-resource endowments
• Unequal access to political power
• Uneven shares of national wealth
• Insufficient federal services
Infrastructure Issues:
• 40% of the federal primary road network is in poor condition
• 18% of 197,000 kilometer road system is paved
• Backbone of the rail network is over 100 years old
• As of 2007 only 25% of trains operational
***Most Nigerian roads, refineries, railways, airports, power plants and water/ sanitation
utilities date to the oil boom in the 1970s
2015 Outlook
• Moderate growth of 5%, due to vulnerability to
• slow global economic recovery
• oil-price volatility
• The low oil price will lead to a sharp decline in fiscal revenues
• Overall impact on non-oil sector GDP will be relatively muted
• Oil sector is expected to remain the main driver of growth over the medium term and,
in the light of the recent macroeconomic challenges, the government has adopted an
adjustment strategy that hinges on tightening government spending and shoring up
non-oil revenues to compensate for dwindling oil revenues.
